It’s time again to do some rumor control, suds fans! This week, NBC announced their decision to cancel Passions in order to add a fourth hour to Today. The Peacock network also made it clear that they’ll let go of Days of our Lives when their obligation to air the long-running sudser expires in 2009. (Read our in-depth report on the NBC news right here.) Now there’s widespread Internet buzz that ABC will copycat NBC’s move by adding a third hour to Good Morning America — and cancel either All My Children or One Life to Live to make room for more GMA on the network’s daytime schedule! "It is absolutely not true," an ABC spokesperson insists to TVGuide.com. "If ABC had an announcement to make, they would have made it last week at [the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena]. We’re in a good position with our daytime dramas and moving forward full steam ahead."
